A rare appearance by him. I have so many more videos and pictures of Gabe lately, it seems, because Gabe is always all over me, yelling, “TAKE MY PICTURE!” or “MAKE A VIDEO OF ME!” Sam is more reticent. It’s nice when I can get him to share. He is just getting so big lately! [...]

Thirteen years. That is a really, really, really long time, especially when you also consider that we’ll have been together for seventeen years this fall, which is half my current age. Wow. And I honestly can’t think of anybody I’d rather have spent that time with, growing together as one. That stinker got the jump [...]

That cake was decorated by Sam and Gabe. Eric made lasagna (from scratch, including the noodle) and garlic bread, and he gave me the flowers and the opal ring – to replace one he gave me before that I can no longer find, sadly. I feel thoroughly blessed, and not simply by the gifts. I [...]

Sometimes, it’s the out-of-the-blue things that make it all okay again, more so than anything you could plan. For me, it was yesterday morning, when I happened to come across a quite strange sighting for my next podcast episode (which, with any luck, I’ll get to upload by tonight). I’m still bummed about Eric having [...]

Okay, first I ran just under thirteen miles with running club, the first five of which I did with a very fast runner who (lucky for me, not for him) was recovering from surgeries, so I could keep up. (Until he challenged me to a sprint up a hill. ) Then coffee, with lots of [...]

Well, it only makes logical sense. You can’t go eating like you’re training for a marathon when you’re not actually training for a marathon. (And even if you were training for a marathon, chocolate cookies would probably not serve well as a primary nutrition source.) I went to put on my black pants for our [...]

Ever get hit by sudden waves of completely debilitating exhaustion, out of nowhere? I mean, it’s not as though I did nothing today that could have brought it on – a long run this morning, a breakfast Christmas party at Eric’s work after that, and then holiday shopping – but…dude. I squatted to get something [...]

Too much fun going on to write much, but while we’re breathing for a moment, I wanted to step in and say that we made it here to Alysia’s, and all is well. The kids are as thick as thieves, good food from Eric is in the offing, and…just…it’s what I needed. So much.

I’m still president of the “Vote NO on Issue Carrie” lobby group, but there is this to make me feel better: we’re going to visit Alysia. And she’s even humoring me by doing a Thanksgiving Day 5K with me, even though she’s not a runner. That, plus the look on Sam’s face when I told [...]

It was my birthday. I’m now 34 years old. Gabe got me a teddy bear, Eric got me some smelly bath stuff, and my folks got me some running gear and some PJ pants. I had sushi for lunch with Eric. All told, I could handle more birthdays like this one. Four more days…
